The Dolphins released Chosen from the practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Chosen was mistake-prone in his appearance during Miami's resounding loss to the Bills last Thursday, and it appears the team isn't interested in providing him further time to acclimate to the offense. The veteran's release could also be an indication that the team expects to get Malik Washington (oblique) back on the field Week 3 versus the Seahawks.
Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log. Chosen played 17 of 76 offensive snaps in Miami's blowout loss to the Bills on Thursday night. The veteran wideout reeled in just one of his four targets for five yards and was the intended receiver on one of Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) three interceptions. Chosen is getting receiver snaps while Odell Beckham (undisclosed) works his back from offseason surgery.
The Dolphins elevated Chosen from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Bills. Chosen will be active for Thursday Night Football against Buffalo after having played 11 offensive snaps (zero targets) during Miami's win over the Jaguars in Week 1. With rookie sixth-round wideout Malik Washington (quadriceps) sidelined again, Chosen will have another opportunity to handle a depth role behind top wideouts Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, plus No. 3 receiver Braxton Berrios.
Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Chosen played on 12 of Miami's 71 offensive snaps against Jacksonville on Sunday and did not catch a pass. The veteran joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster.
Chosen was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's regular-season opener against the Jaguars. Chosen joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. With rookie sixth-round wideout Malik Washington (quadriceps) ruled out for Week 1, Chosen will serve as the Dolphins' fifth wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios and Grant DuBose. Across nine regular-season games with Miami last season, Chosen recorded four catches (on six targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown.
The Dolphins signed Chosen to the practice squad Thursday. Chosen appeared in nine regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2023, during which he accrued four catches (on six targets) for 126 yards and one touchdown. He signed with the 49ers in early August to battle for a depth wide receiver spot, but he was ultimately left off the final 53-man roster. Chosen's familiarity with the Dolphins' offense should provide him an opportunity to be elevated to the active roster at some point during the upcoming season.
The 49ers released Chosen on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Chosen spent the better part of August with the Niners after appearing nine games for the Dolphins last season. He played 28 offensive snaps in San Francisco's preseason finale but wasn't targeted. Now 31 years old, Chosen's career is certainly winding down.
Chosen agreed to terms on a contract with the 49ers on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Chosen, who caught four passes in nine games for the Dolphins in 2023, now lands in San Francisco as a depth provision while Brandon Aiyuk's ongoing trade-request saga unfurls. Despite his ample experience in the NFL, the 31-year-old faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot with the 49ers, even if Aiyuk were to be dealt without San Francisco adding another notable wideout in return.
Chosen will try out for the Seahawks this week during the team's mandatory minicamp, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The wide receiver formerly known as Robby Anderson caught four passes in nine games for the Dolphins in 2023. The veteran has just 24 catches over the last two seasons. If he gets through his tryout and earns a contract, Chosen will join a crowded receiver room that includes DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
